25 Part II: Sale of Laminate Business |
Meadville has entered into a sale and purchase agreement to conditionally sell its laminate business to Top Mix Transaction valued at approximately HK$2,783.8 million. Consideration to comprise: HK$136.6 million (US$17.6 million) in cash; and HK$2,647.2 million (US$341.6 million) in promissory notes to be issued by Top Mix The laminate business, through AVA International Limited, indirectly holds interest in GSST and SSST GSST is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (ticker: 600183 CH) SSST is a private company beneficially owned as to 75% by GSST and 25% by AVA International Limited Somerley Limited has been appointed as the Financial Adviser to Top Mix to provide confirmation that Top Mix has sufficient financial resources for the payment in cash of the cash component of the consideration The Independent Board Committee of Meadville will receive advice from an Independent Financial Advisor as to the fairness and reasonableness of this transaction The sale of the laminate business is conditional upon, among other things, completion of the PCB sale transaction and will concurrently close in Q1 2010 26 Transaction Overview Note: Exchange rate of US$:HK$ = 1:7.7502 applied GSST 22.2% Laminate Business Subsidiaries SSST 75.0% 25.0% |
27 Description of the Promissory Notes Consideration for the Laminate Sale The total consideration of approximately HK$2,783.8 million has been determined by arm's length negotiation between the parties with reference to, among other things: the market value of the shareholding indirectly held by the laminate business in GSST shares (equivalent to HK$2,210.7 million, based on a 7.5% discount to the average closing price per GSST share for the past five trading days up to and including the GSST last trading day)1 unaudited combined net book value of the laminate business attributable to the equity holders (excluding the value of the GSST shares held by the laminate business) Issued by Top Mix and repayable on demand made by the holders thereof by not less than one month's written notice at any time before the first anniversary of the date of issue Bear interest at HIBOR - accrued interest will be paid by Top Mix Note: 1. November 13, 2009 Consideration |
28 Intention Regarding the Laminate Business Post completion of the combination of Meadville PCB business with TTM, the remaining business will primarily consist of a sub-scale laminate business: GSST & SSST are treated as investment assets with no operational management involvement MICA laminates operations are relatively small with approximately 469 employees as of June, 30, 2009 and HK$308.9 million revenue for the 6 months ended June 30, 2009 Top Mix will continue to run the laminate business as a private company and has no plan to redeploy its fixed assets or discontinue the employment of employees as a result of the sale The laminate business is a discrete business that would be better managed as a private company, allowing management to stay focused without the distraction of complying with the rules and obligations as a listed company Top Mix thereby provides the Meadville independent shareholders with an opportunity to realize their indirect investment in the laminate business |
